What is special, and the ultimate combination of price, value, and performance, is Autumn Web's services as the developer of your website.

Yes, it is possible to purchase software that can create web pages. And if you have the desire, time, and ability to create your own website, that's great! But most people don't have the time or desire to learn everything you need to know to create a successful website. Just knowing how to put text and images on a HTML document won't create a successful website.

thanks for supporting + visiting our sponsors

Our PRICES are extremely reasonable, considering you will be getting what many developers charge as two separate development fees. Marketing of your website is included in our development price. Your website is created to be 'search engine friendly' right from the start. There are many developers that will build a 'whiz-bang' website, then, when the site isn't getting any traffic/customers/sales, will say, "Oh, we didn't know you wanted to be listed in the search engines! To do that, we have to re-design your website -- for an additional fee!

Your VALUE will be a combination of creating a website that is standards compliant and cross-browser viewable, and a website that is created correctly -- from the start.

PERFORMANCE will be what you want it to be. And we will work with you to achieve the performance goals you set for your website. Everyone's goals are different, so we can't go into specifics here. But please be assured that your goals will become our goals!

Our recommended Hosting Services options will provide for every type of website requirement. We have chosen our Internet Service Partners carefully, as we feel price, value, and performance are essential !

For a small business wanting an Internet presence, yet doesn't need
~ a Premium Domain Name website
~ a complex Ecommerce website
the price of a Developer Services Brochure Website is hard to beat.
The cost of doing business on-line with a Developer Services Ecommerce Website, with little work to do except decide the style of your website, which products you want to sell, and how you want to handle payments and shipping, can't be any easier. You are busy with the day-to-day operation of your business and can't ignore it for weeks or months while you learn what you need to know to create an effective website and do business on-line successfully.

Autumn Web researched long and hard before deciding on a partner to present our services to the Internet community. We wouldn't settle for anything but the best web server equipment, website options, and Ecommerce partnerships so that we may offer these services to you.

After all, we are using these items too,
we weren't going to settle for 2nd best !
And neither should you !

PLUS
Unlike some other web developers and website hosts, we make sure our customers are registered as the administrative contact of their domain name, so they have control of that domain name. If your website host or developer does NOT, be prepared for major problems with your domain name later.

Why are we telling you most of our information sources? Because we know that you, as an informed consumer, will feel more confident about the decision to choose Autumn Web as your host, developer, graphic designer, or HTML creator.

If you are undecided on the options of creating your own website, or using Autumn Web's Developer Services, we encourage you to check into the resources listed above. Most of the Ecommerce newsletter publications have their past issues available to read on-line or off.

We also recommend you do a few other things. (follow the links, bookmark the sites for reading later, and hit your back button to return here.)

Visit WebDeveloper.com's ecommerce section, they have enormous amounts of information on all of the major aspects of creating a successful business or personal website.
Visit Host Help's site. They will tell you everything you need to know about choosing a web host. We are NOT afraid to have our customers know all the "ins and outs". Because you will be able to see for yourself that what Autumn Web offers or recommends, is top of the line when it comes to value and performance! With reasonable prices, too!

Rather than re-invent the wheel, and try to create pages of information similar to what they have already done, we would rather send you to these places to get the information, and spend our energy and resources in some other areas that will benefit you, our development customer.

Autumn Web is a smaller web development studio located in metro Detroit, Michigan. This means better prices for our customers (we have less overhead costs) and more personal attention for our customers. The owner personally oversees all aspects of the customer's website development. This would seem to limit the amount of work we can accept, but truly, it allows us to choose the amount and type of work that is generated, providing higher quality and attention to details that larger studios cannot always provide. We can give you the personalized time and attention that you want and need to be able to create your website.

As a developer, we do all the work of registering with search engines, doing the follow-up and monitoring of your listing with them, and then tweaking and adjusting your website to achieve the best listing possible in the proper category for your business.

We are confident that once you know and understand the high quality of website development standards that Autumn Web follows, you will be more than satisfied with letting us handle your website needs.
